A team in Cornell Engineering created a new lithium battery that can charge in under five minutes – faster than any such battery on the market – while maintaining stable performance over extended cycles of charging and discharging.

Researchers have developed a strain of bacteria that doesn't just digest plastic but also converts it to biodegradable spider silk – "nature's Kevlar" that has multiple uses.

After analyzing DNA remnants preserved in ancient human coprolites (fossilized feces), the researchers discovered that many of the long-dead bacteria and viruses found in the feces were the same species thriving in present-day Japanese guts.

Conservationists in Kenya are celebrating a massive step forward in what they hope will be the safeguarding the future of the northern white rhino.

Researchers have successfully created a microfluidic device that can spin artificial spider silk. The device mimics the conditions in a real spider's silk gland, producing artificial silk with the same complex structure.

In a new study, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign investigated how the type and amount of these VOCs change based on different features of tomato plants.

A ‘fitness check’ of regulations in five countries meant to protect animals during transportation, has deemed that they all fall short of fully protecting animals during transport.

Marine heat waves appear to trigger earlier reproduction, high mortality in early life stages and fewer surviving juvenile Pacific cod in the Gulf of Alaska, a new study from Oregon State University shows.

A new database of weeds can help scientists understand how traditional agricultural systems were managed throughout history and how global trends like the climate crisis could affect the resilience of our modern day food systems.

Researchers combine traditional mathematical approaches and cutting-edge machine learning methods for improved analysis of building structures.
